🌟 🌟 🌟 In our “What Do You Mean by Doing Research?” held on 18 March 2026, we had an engaging, inspiring, and thought-provoking discussion on how academic journeys are shaped by luck, opportunity, institutional structures, and personal agency.
Our speakers reflected on the realities of academic life — from precarity and pressure to the importance of relationships, resilience, and evolving motivations. The conversation also highlighted how researchers can construct opportunities while staying authentic to their values.
A heartfelt thank you to our wonderful speakers — Jisun Jung, Marcelo Marques, Mariia Tishenina, PhD and Xinzi Ow Yong — for such an enlightening and generous discussion❤️❤️❤️
